Outwars: Music Starts and Stops or Music Volume Abruptly Changes (184971)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outwars 1.0
This article was previously published under Q184971

SYMPTOMS

When you play Microsoft Outwars, music in the game may start and stop, or the music volume may abruptly change.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the volume levels for wave audio and CD audio do not match.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the Outwars CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then start Outwars.
  2. On the Outwars startup screen, click Options.
  3. Click Sound.
  4. When the Sound Options screen opens, you hear the wave audio. Under Interactive Music Balance, click the left or right Wav Music arrows to set the volume level you want for the wave audio.
  5. Under Interactive Music Balance, click the CD Music volume control. When you do so, you hear the CD audio. Click the left or right CD Music arrow to adjust the volume level for the CD audio to match the volume level for the wave audio.

    NOTE: When you set both the wave and CD audio to the same volume level, the Wav Music and CD Music volume controls are not necessarily set to the same numeric value.
  6. If both the CD and wave audio do not play, click the right Master Volume arrow to increase the volume level in the game.

MORE INFORMATION

The interactive music system used by Outwars combines the CD and wave audio to match the action in the game.
